One reason the Nuremberg trials following world war 2 were held was to

A. Bring hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo to justice

B. Force japan to pay for the attack on Pearl Harbor

C. Make German leaders accountable for the holocaust

D. Punish the German government for bombing England

The answer is C.

A is wrong because by the wars end Hitler and Mussolini were both dead. And Tojo was only tried in the Military Tribunals of the Far East, not the Nuremburg Trials.

B is wrong because all Japanese officials were tried at the Military Tribunals of the Far East.

D is wrong because while bombing English cities is a war crime, the news of the holocaust had just spread; and the public wanted blood for the atrocities that occurred so it more focused on the holocaust masterminds than just the Luftwaffe head Goering.
